A really nice exposure Robert. Love the rocky area the bird is standing on, the BG, and the bird's pose. Nice DOF and a sharp bird. Well done.

Nice sharpness and detail Robert. The pose works well and I like the graded colors in the background. Seems like pretty bright light but you handled it well.

What a look from the owl and excellent detail on the larger version, nice job getting this in the bright light, way to go.

Only thing, in my opinion, that would make this any nicer would be if both his eyes were fully visible. Excellent capture as is

Looks like you had challenging light Robert, but managed it nicely.

Very sharp and tons of details in the larger version. Looks like you had some harsh light and the owl's expression says that. Good choice of dof and a very nice background.
